Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • Aspects of the Religious History of Lewis
    ASPECTS OF THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF LEWIS Rev. Murdo Macaulay was born in Upper Carloway, Lewis, the eldest child of a family of four boys and two girls. On the day of his birth the famous and saintly Mrs Maclver of Carloway predicted that he was to be a minister of the Gospel. This prediction, of which he had been informed, appeared to have no particular bearing upon his early career. It was not until the great spiritual revival, which began in the district of Carloway a few years before the outbreak of the Second Worid War, that Mr Macaulay came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever thoughts he may have entertained previously, it was in a prisoner of war camp in Germany that he publicly made known his decision to respond to his call to the ministry of the Free Church. The Lord's sovereignty in preparing him for the ministry could make interesting reading. It included a full secondary education, a number of years of military training, some years in business where he came to understand the foibles of the public whom he had to serve, a graduation course at Edinburgh University and a divinity Course in Up to the Disruption of 1843 the Free Church College. Mr Macaulay has a studious mind, a retentive memory, and scholastic ability for research. He has a good working knowledge of six languages, yet he is more concerned about stating facts than about This document is scanned for research and appears never to have been clothing them in attractive language.

    Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust www.gatliff.org.uk newsLetteR 35 becemseR 2002 i.. Settlements on the island of Scarp, North Harris, once home to an early Gatliff hostel. (Photo courtesy of Sea Trek) Healthy Recruitment The Membership Secretary, Peter Clarke, indicates that there are 246 paid-up members of the GHHT. During 2001 there was a healthy number of 59 new members joining. This is encouraging -for the contacts and networks created by individuals with similar interests can only prosper the Trust. Do use your connections to boost recruitment directly or inform the Secretary of potential new members. His e-mail is [email protected] .uk The Membership Income during 2002 has been £1230 and in addition the donations received directly from them is £2166. 148 members have signed Gift Aid Forms and the recovered tax has yielded £755. So from this source alone the work of maintaining and promoting the four hostels in the group has been supported by over £4000. AGM Matters The Annual General meeting of the Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust was held on 14th September 2002 at the YHA in Oxford. It was in an entirely new venue and enabled more people to become aware of the activities of the group. The hostels saw a decrease in usage of 3.2% in 2001, caused in part by the downturn owing to Foot & Mouth disease. Fortunately neither the Islands nor the North of Scotland were directly infected, but the tourist trade was indirectly affected. However, there was a 12% increase in overnight stays at Howmore with its new dormitory.

Many are not indigenous to the Western Isles, although some are life-long members. There has been a growth in numbers in the past few years. St. Peter’s is an open and welcoming spiritual community reaching out into the community near and far, through the prayer, work and loving service of our members. WORSHIP AND CHURCH LIFE We hold three worship services each Sunday: an 8:30 am communion service (suspended during the interregnum) using the 1970 liturgy; an 11:00 am Sung Eucharist using the 1982 liturgy; and a 7:00 pm Evening Prayer using the 1929 Scottish Prayer Book.
